In the Merchant Console, go to Integrations > Google Pay.

In the Hosted Checkout section, enter the URLs of two PNG images: One image should be 120px X 120px, and the other should be 180px X 180px.

When you're done, click Submit.

Testing in Sandbox

Google Pay does not provide test cards; however, you can use a “live” card within Google’s test environment. In a test environment, Google Pay returns a dummy token, which can't be charged.

Note:

While the Google Pay API is available in many markets, tokenized cards are only available in a subset of countries and on compatible Android devices. Reference Google’s integration guide before testing tokenized cards.
